SCA: security update for torchserve (GHSA-m2mj-pr4f-h9jp)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416659

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - TorchServe is a tool for serving and scaling PyTorch models in production. Starting in version 0.1.0 and
 prior to version 0.9.0, using the model/workflow management API, there is a chance of uploading
 potentially harmful archives that contain files that are extracted to any location on the filesystem that
 is within the process permissions. Leveraging this issue could aid third-party actors in hiding harmful
 code in open-source/public models, which can be downloaded from the internet, and take advantage of
 machines running Torchserve. The ZipSlip issue in TorchServe has been fixed by validating the paths of
 files contained within a zip archive before extracting them. TorchServe release 0.9.0 includes fixes to
 address the ZipSlip vulnerability. (CVE-2023-48299)
